Preface
The evo-devo, short for evolutionary developmental biology, is a field of biological research that addresses questions about the developmental grounds of evolutionary changes and evolution of developmental processes. It compares mechanisms operating during development of various taxa to infer the ancestral condition of these processes and elucidate how they had evolved. In the chapters contained in the first part of the book, theoretical background of evo-devo is discussed. Alan Love and Yoshinari Yoshida review different categories of model organisms (systems) and illustrate how evo-devo model organisms are (and should be) selected. Peter Dearden discusses the phenomenon of the developmental hourglass and suggests a new “twisted ribbon” model that links variability in subsequent gen
